| Huaxi Park |
|
Located on the outskirts of Guiyang city in Guizhou Province, and
embraced by mountains, Huaxi scenic area is endowed with dense vegetation
and crystal-clear waters. It's a famous tourist scenic spot for being
exquisite, meandering, quiet and secluded yet at the same time, rough,
open and broad. There are 108 islands of various size and shape on
the lake.
The islands resemble numerous brilliant stars embellished upon
the transparent sky. Layer upon layer of reflections of the surrounding
mountains on the lake are so vivid and clear. The lush mountains
rising one upon another and the luxuriantly green forests around
the lake enhance its beauty and grace.
Huaxi Park: The Huaxi River serpentines along exquisite small hills
which abound in limestone caves with gurgling underground streams.
The clear and graceful waters of the winding Huaxi River flow through
hills, over cliffs, under bridges and dash against rock walls, giving
rise to myriad little torrents, mini-waterfalls, small pools and
tiny shoals. Along its two banks orderly arrayed are houses, terraces,
pavilions, towers, villas, hotels, stairways etc. built with superb
workmanship. All these add up to its fascinating beauty.
Viewed from afar, the nearby Linshan Hill, less than a hundred
meters in height, looks like a natural miniature potted scenery.
It's covered with tiers of green rocks, circumscribed by zigzag
trails, and penetrated by limestone grottoes. The Tower of Drifting
Clouds nestles adroitly within the Hill. Ascending to the Hill top,
one has a panoramic view of Huaxi: on the mountain sides, small
bridges span the churning streams, waterfalls crash down upon the
blue waters, and the rolling river slows down to merge with the
belt-shaped small lake. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful sights
along the riverbanks in a boat. |
